Lazy Garden

Despite the heat and extreme neglect, my garden continues to bloom. And I continue to be a lazy photographer, shooting everything with my iPhone.

You Want One. You Know You Do.

Pay a visit to Sarah and the Goon Squad to see what I’ll be taking with me to BlogHer. Cardboard coffee sleeves, be gone!
Seriously. I don’t want to haul them back home, and I can’t think of a single relative who will want one. And if you’re in the market for custom goodies, Sarah is [...]

High Five

I was at Coffee Tree Roasters this morning, waiting for my daughter’s ballet class to end, when an attractive, athletic-looking woman came in with four kids, ranging in age from about 2 to 8. She left the large dog outside. She was calm and utterly at ease with the situation. (And by “athletic looking” I [...]

A New Gig

It’s been in the works for a while but I can finally say I’m the new Savvy Source city editor for Pittsburgh. Check out the City Guide page for Pittsburgh. I’ll also be tweeting @savvypittsburgh.
I have a lot more work ahead of me, mostly because there is SO MUCH to do in Pittsburgh with preschoolers. [...]

Now: The End (or not)

It’s the last day hour of June and the last day of my feeble attempt at NaBloPoMo. I have done this before, and it typically leads to a long lay off due to burn out. After blog365 I could barely contemplate blogging. It was awful, and by now I really should know better. Perhaps doing [...]

Now: NabLoAlMo

So much for NaBloPoMo June. Looks like I missed a couple of days. Can I just say it was a long weekend, the week started off crummy and leave it at that? Thanks.
Today the weather finally changed and the humidity went off to bother somebody else. It’s going to be close to 50 degrees tonight. [...]

Now: A Ballerina Is Born

As this blog begins year six, Eleanor began ballet class. You couldn’t convince her she isn’t already a ballerina, but now we have the shoes and leotard to go with the attitude. That was a story in itself. I found out around 10 am Friday morning that we were, in fact, registered for the class. [...]

Now: What a Long Strange Trip It’s Been

Tomorrow this blog will be five years old. It started on another platform (Blogger), with another name (Three Dogs and a Baby), for the sole purpose of sharing news and photos of my new baby with family far away.
I never imagined the new world this blog would open. It’s been a gateway to so many [...]

Now: Here, There, and Everywhere

World Cup:  USA won. England won. USA won the group (first time ever). Woo. Still living in a house divided. This won’t end well.
Tennis:  Go see what’s happening at Wimbledon over at Draft Day Suit.
Earthquake:  It was in Canada, but felt in Pittsburgh.
Pirates:  I had even more to say over at Draft Day Suit. I [...]

Now: Stormy Weather

Most mornings it is getting brighter at 7:30. This morning it was getting darker. Rain fell just as Oliver and I headed out to the bus stop. The first spots on the driveway were bigger than quarters. I foolishly thought the bus would come quickly, before we were soaked to the skin. Rain, lightning, thunder, [...]
